About Daalhemerweg 48, Valkenburg
The asking price is 90% above the neighbourhood average of €470,802, which is a big gap. However, this apartment is 174 m², while the average sold home in Valkenburg is 152 m². The price per m² works out to about €5,144, compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,427 per m². So it's priced at a premium, likely because of its size and location.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home from 1960. In the neighbourhood, 25.4% of homes have label A and 22% have label B, so this one is slightly less efficient than the newer stock. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
